Sovran Self Storage's 2010 earnings will be pressured by the after effects of de-leveraging, asset recylcing activities and the impact of increased promotional activity. There are limited acquisition opportunities and few catalysts which could drive SSS to outperform. RBC have maintained its rating as sector perform with average risk.
